Notes No. 2 (HTML, 23k) ]
by K. Maruoka and J. Agee (University of Washington)
Conclusion
A fire history documents past fire events, which occurred under
different climatic and floristic conditions than current conditions.
Thus, applying fire history to forest management should be done
with caution after considering these influences. Nevertheless, a
fire history of an area can provide valuable information about the
influence of fire on forest development. This understanding can
be used by managers interested in using fire to achieve management
goals.
